Delta Hospice Cottage Thrift Store

The prices in this overcrowded store were unbelievable! As a seasoned thrifter, I know my prices! And this place was twice the price of a Granville Street antique store! Don’t waste your time. I spoke to 4 people in there, every one was FUMING about prices and they were leaving with nothing! $ 28.00 for a mans hat? $ 150.00 for an old coffee table? Who are they kidding? So sad, such a worthy cause and whoever does the pricing is SO GREEDY! Even a couple of ladies who volunteer there said it was embarrassing to work there because of the gouging! The books might be a dollar (I don’t know if they are or not!) but their other prices are just staggering!

I don’t know what the first broad was smoking when she posted her review, but I am obligated to point out that the Emperor isn’t wearing any clothes… this thrift shop is way over priced. It DOES smell musty as well… my olfactory senses still function. You’re better off to drive North for ten minutes and hit the Ladner thrift store, where prices are much more reasonable

This thrift store carries a wide variety of items, but seems to specialize in walkers, wheelchairs and items made to give comfort. The store is well taken care of and the volunteers do a wonderful job. BUT it loses points for it’s prices. Typically hospital thrift stores, or hospice in this case tend to have items at a cheaper price point, prices here are comparable to Value Village, which is not all that inexpensive to me.

Lately I’ve been spending time in Tsawwassen caring for elderly parents. And anyone who has looked after the aging knows that a little retail break is always welcome. The hospice thrift store is my first choice for great deals and welcome smiles. The volunteers keep the place spotless and so well organized. Not a whiff of mustiness here. Great prices on clothes, shoes and housewares, and a great designer boutique tucked into one corner. Check the side of the building for great small furnishings. Best of all, books are — get this — only a dollar. Yes, one dollar for fiction with fractionally higher prices for cookbooks, vintage and hardcovers. Such a great deal I’m reluctant to tell for fear there’ll be none left next time I’m in. Save me a few, would ya?
